Rail operations & shunting

A complete rail solution from pit-to-port, including shunting and marshalling services.

Capability overview

As a private railway operator, we provide a complete rail solution to our customers, from pit-to-port, either in closed private operations for example on a mine, or terminal, through to hook-and-haul options. We take responsibility for the safe and efficient movement of rolling stock on client sites, providing shunting and marshalling services in line with operational schedules. In addition, we marshal empty or loaded rail wagons to form block trains or train sets for dispatch or collection at designated points.
